United States President Trump has continued to threaten Iran with possible military attacks if Tehran does not accede to his demands on issues ranging from nuclear enrichment to ballistic missiles.
In comments to the Israeli outlet Channel 12, published on Tuesday, Trump hinted at aggressive actions if no deal comes together with Iran.
“Either we reach a deal, or we’ll have to do something very tough,” Trump told the news outlet.
The remarks come as Iran’s security chief, Ali Larijani, meets with the sultan of Oman, Haitham bin Tariq Al Said, to discuss the results of talks between US and Iranian officials last week.
In recent weeks, Trump has touted an increase in US military forces in the region, having sent a “massive armada” to nearby waters. The deployment includes the USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier.
